Lately I've been pushing myself to discover new artists and learn new and different techniques. I'd love to find at least a couple new references a week. So please share your favorite studios, designers and illustrators! @jooleeloren is spread one. Her work is hilarious and totally down to earth. #design #discover #sketchbook #inspiration

Still adding more design/illustration inspiration to my sketchbook. I love having examples and inspiration to reference. This spread is all about Sally Nixon, aka @sallustration (go check her out). Her work is crazy busy and detailed and full of patterns. She turns mundane everyday moments into art and I'm obsessed. Also, super stoked about for her new seek and find book Houseplants & Hot Sauce that comes out on Tuesday! 😆🌿🔥 #designinspiration #sketchbook #design #sallynixon

Another work day, another latte. #latte #workday #mac #designlife #coffeeshopvibes (at Heirloom Bakery & Hearth)

More photo adventures today in our favorite city 🏸 with @katielegate & @bbowmanphoto • • • #kc #nelsonatkinsmuseum #art #adventure (at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art)

I'm so in love with KC and everything it has to offer 💙 This weekend was a blast! Explored the crossroads for First Fridays, bought flowers at the River Market, finally experienced Lulu's for dinner (YUM! How had I never been to Lulu's??) while catching up with some great friends, plus I got to see a couple films at the KC Film fest. If that weekend wasn't awesome enough today is opening day at the K for Royals baseball 😄and this week is KC Design Week!!! • • • Anyways with the beautiful weather and blue sky I had to snap a picture and couldn't help making some kind of KC love design to add in that negative space. • • • #kc #graphicdesign #igkc #skyline #love #explore #kcmo #design #openingday #raisedroyal (at Kansas City, Missouri)

Enjoying this amazing work - Antonia's Organ, by Rashid Johnson at the Kemper Museum check it out if you get the chance! #kempermuseum #art #kc (at Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art)

New sketchbook to fill! With a fresh Ocean & Sea sticker on the cover. Making the first marks in my sketchbooks always seems weirdly daunting to me. #sketchbook #oceanandsea #KC #designlife

Planning out details and finding inspiration for a photoshoot I'll be helping with as art director later this month. Can't wait! #desk #planning #newprojects #artdirecting #work

Happy first day of spring everyone 🌼 Here's a doodle from my sketchbook that I later uploaded and played with in Illustrator. #doodle #design #flowers #springishere

I've been missing painting so much lately! Really need to get my supplies out of storage and just go crazy for a week or so.. Anyways this is something I made in my painting class like a year ago. Now it's on the wall by my desk making me miss my studio class more and more everyday! #painting #design #studioart
